We have acquired a small group of posters which proclaim the
power and glory of the Soviet Union. The collection includes charming
pictures of children hard at work in school, posters paying homage
to Lenin, depictions of Soviet industrial prowess and portrayals
of the United States as a nation of aggression. Condition and
size vary. Unfortunately we were unable to translate these pieces.
We believe many of them date to the late 1950's, the height of
the Cold War, while others are dated 1984. Click on the thumbnail
for a larger view. All measurements are approximate.
